OHMG... Caffeine withdrawals are no joke.. I usually can quit coffee cold turkey and have no problems not today. Today is pre-op day 1 and I decided to ween myself off caffeine as well so that I won't have withdrawals after surgery.. Wow I literally have had a headache since I woke up this morning hour #8 have tried Tylenol extra strength to no real help.. Sorry all just needed to vent!! My current mood....:71_smiling_imp:

Does anyone know why we're supposed to give up caffeine pre-op? It's been so hard for me too!

I was told so that you don't have to experience withdrawal symptoms on top of surgery healing. I cannot have coffee until like week 4-6 post-op but not sure I want to go through this again Decaf sucks.. lol

Caffeine dehydrates you that is why they want us to give it up.

I was told not to go cold turkey. Add a little bit less each day to a cup of decaffeinated coffee.

If anyone is looking for a good tasting Protein Shake, I just tried the caramel Premier Protein shake and it is DELICIOUS! I thought the chocolate was good but wow, this is so good! Happy Thursday, everyone! We got this! [emoji4]

Thanks for letting me know! I'm scared to try anything but chocolate since most other flavors are so nasty. What does it taste like?

It tastes like a caramel sundae! It is sweet but it's a change of pace if you want to switch it up from the chocolate. Enjoy!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
